Hidden thoughts within the deep parts of my mind

One of my many thoughts that crosses my mind is pain. To be more specific, I think about others peoples pain. It is true that we all have pain, theres pain in everyones life, and it comes in all different shapes and sizes. It comes in a form of abuse, financial issues, negative experiences, negative people, and just life in general is tough for many people. There has to be a way out of it, a way to escape it right? That is what I hope for anyway, I mean yeah it is unavoidable but there has to be a way to lessen others pain. I get caught up in the idea of wanting to take everyones pain.

I wish that I had the ability to take away everyones pain, because pain is suffering that can turn into pure agony, it can hurt so much that all one feels is internal pain day in and day out. The best I can do to help and do my part to help others out is to make jokes, and offer my support to the best of my abilities. I know what it feels like to be at a really low point in life, the point where you think its time to call it quits, the point where you think you have fought enough. You believe that you have reached that point where you are about to break for the last time for good, you believe that you are not going to survive any more storms, you believe that after all this time of boxing that its the final round and don't want to get up. I want to let you know something though. The pain you feel, it will go away and do you want to know why? It will go away because no one suffers forever.

The secret is to start loving yourself, to start believing again, to dream as if you were a kid, to take steps to get out of your dark place. You think it is too hard, use your support system, don't have one then email me and get into contact with me, get help, you have to find that strength in yourself thats been there all along, you have to keep walking the pathway because your journey of life is only just getting started. The good parts are coming so don't miss out.

Think about this too, if we don't have pain, if we don't suffer then how will we know what happiness is, what true happiness is? Why would we appreciate it? Why enjoy it? We know what happiness is because we know what it means to be in pain. We can use our past pain to make the world a better place so that no one has to suffer the way we did, we can help each out, we can teach others, and when it is all said and done then we will look back on the bad times together and see the pain as a blessing. The pain helps make us who we are so wear those internal scars with a smile, and show others and have a conversation with them. The pleasure will come after you go through the pain. The pain will not stay forever so go out and be your amazing self. We all have this light about us, and all of our souls are beautiful so shine bright ladies and gentleman.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
